Olive tree sick?

A few weeks ago, I bought an olive tree seedling (15cm tall). I put it in the greenhouse and the temperature rose to 120 degrees fahrenheit one day. It dropped all it's lower leaves and left two leaves at the top. They are wilted and have brown patches. Will my olive tree stay alive and grow back?

This is not the kind of thing that can be predicted by your fellow growers. It's a wait and see situation. At least you seem to have a pretty good idea of what went wrong.
